In many software programs such as Windows, a profile is saved under each login name, saving characteristics of the user environment and system settings. Depending on the login name used, you may have different setup configurations for your program or system by changing the settings while logged in. This concept is similar for CAD designers and operators using AutoCAD®. You can restore different settings from the Options dialog box in a profile and recall them at any time by switching profiles. The Options dialog box shown in Figure 1 highlights the Profiles Tab where you can save a profile as well as import and export for use on other computers.
The Options dialog box contains separate tabs where you can choose settings to configure in AutoCAD. The Profiles tab can be found to the far right after the Selection tab. This location tells me, a CAD Manager, that after you go through all the other tabs and get the settings you want, save your profile (and export) to retain those settings. This is a quick way for you to transfer options settings from one computer to another or deploy from a network location.
To create a new profile, select a profile, which will be highlighted. Then select Add to List… as shown in Figure 2. You will be then prompted for a name and description as shown in Figure 3. Enter your profile name and a good description and your profile will be added to the list. It is important to add a description of your profile—adding descriptions to your custom profiles, styles, and customizations can help others on your team determine what you have done.

After you have created your new profile, you can modify the settings on the other tabs of the Options dialog box and the new settings will be associated with the new profile. Profiles are set up like menus where AutoCAD will store the running settings as you launch the program. You have several options on the profiles tab as well as exporting an (.arg) file, which can give you the ability to launch profiles from other computers or a network location. Remember to export your profile out as the settings will be only saved in the running profile until you export out.
When teaching at Autodesk University 2016 I had separate profiles set up for each class I was teaching. I could switch between them and not have to worry about my settings or finding the files I needed for each class. My main purpose for this was accessing my settings and files, which can be quickly obtained through the Places list that is stored in the profile.
For more information on the Places list, see my post on CADProTips: https://cadprotips.com/2017/06/18/projects-and-places-in-autocad/
Let’s look at the list of options located on the Profiles tab (see Figure 4).
You can set up one or more shortcut icons on the Windows desktop that will start AutoCAD and begin the drawing process using a specified profile (.arg) file. To start AutoCAD with the profile you want, follow these steps.
Figure 6 highlights the text string that I used in my target path where I have highlighted the area you need to add to the end of the Target line.
Figure 6: Adding to your target path
Note: You must use quotation marks (" ") when the directory path names contain spaces.
When you are finished, click OK to accept the changes and exit to the Windows desktop.
AutoCAD will use the profile that you set in the shortcut icon each time the program is started. If the shortcut icon specifies the same profile as one that is already defined in AutoCAD, the settings in the .arg file will not be imported. Also, AutoCAD will recreate the default desktop shortcut whenever a new user runs the application. Therefore, it is recommended you make your customizations to a copy of the shortcut rather than the default. Make sure to give each shortcut icon a distinctive name.
Many AutoCAD users customize their startup options using ACADDOC.lsp, ACAD.lsp, or another LISP routine automatically loaded each time you use AutoCAD. You can also create a separate LISP file to add the code and place into your startup suite.
Create the mylisp.lsp file, use appload and add to your startup suite and your current profile will be displayed on the status bar as shown in Figure 7 each time you use AutoCAD. A great way for CAD Managers to check to see if the company standard profile is located.
;; This macro will display the current profile on the status bar
;; Load this file using the startup suite or placed in the acaddoc.lsp.
(setvar "modemacro"(strcat "PROFILE: $(getvar,cprofile)"))

Do you want to learn how to load a file from the startup suite? See this post on the Autodesk Knowledge Network: Loading Lisp with Startup Suite in AutoCAD: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/screencast/Main/Details/2b490b8e-5aea-4efa-8ccd-ebbd4589445a.html
For more information on using lisp in custom deployments check out this Autodesk University class from R. K. McSwain: As Many CAD Manager Tips As We Can Fit into a Single Hour ( http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/classes/year-2016/autocad/it21032#chapter=0 )
Adding the profile to the modemacro system variable is a technique I have been using for many years. I also encourage you to look up Paul Munford’s Autodesk University class named AutoCAD Tool Palettes Master Class (Planning and Preparation, Not Perspiration) http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/classes/year-2017/autocad/lo-aec02#chapter=0 . In this class, Paul describes how to use LISP code for the modemacro system variable with and without macros.
I typically use a white background for training and screen shots. When designing I use the black background. I wanted to be able to switch between the two quickly. The color of your screen background (and many other colors) are stored within the current profile in AutoCAD. Back to the Options tab we are going to move to the Profiles tab to look at our profile names.
We will not enter the world of Visual Basic and look at the VBASTMT command. You can type this at the command prompt and you will be prompted to enter a Visual Basic Expression.
Note: You may first receive this message. Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications software (VBA) is no longer installed. For more information, visit http://www.autodesk.com/vba-download . Navigate to the page to download VBA for AutoCAD 2018.
A Visual Basic statement is a complete instruction that can contain keywords, operators, variables, constants, and expressions. A statement generally occupies a single line, although you can use a colon (:) to include more than one statement on that line. VBA statements are executed in the context of the current drawing and can be loaded via a macro within a new command or on a tool palette.
The VBA command we are going to use will launch a macro to switch between your profiles. Create a command using the CUI or a new button on your tool palette and past the code into either section. Note: your profiles must exist in your current AutoCAD session; therefore, you may need to import and/or create if they are new.
I have two separate Screencasts to better illustrate this technique—one uses the tool palette as shown below and the other adding a custom button to your setup.
Creating a tool palette macro to change your profile in AutoCAD
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/5ee4562a-bb2e-42ba-a0c2-9233ae9cefc3
For our examples, the code is shown below:
_VBASTMT ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.ActiveProfile = "AUGIWorld";
_VBASTMT ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.ActiveProfile = "White_Background";
_VBASTMT ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.ActiveProfile = "Black_Background";
AUGIWorld Profile
Figure 11 is an example of how I added three new buttons to my tool palette and then changed the text string (Figure 12) to add to a custom palette to switch the macros. The images were simply created using the button editor, then saving out to a .bmp
Under each button, right-click and select Properties. Enter the VBA string to launch the profile you would like to switch. The example in Figure 11 shows us switching to the AUGIWorld.arg profile.
Figure 12: Set the AUGIWorld profile
We all have options, so why not choose the best ones to suit your needs? A profile in AutoCAD can give you access to all your customized options in one place. Customizing profiles aligned with your current workflow and standards can prove to save time and increase productivity. Create several profiles, then export out to different names saving to a secure location. Profiles can help you retain and adjust settings to ensure that you stay competitive and up to date with the current standards and system variable changes that occur with your AutoCAD platform.

Your profile is how you present yourself to the world. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, what does your profile picture say about you?
Humans make judgments based on a rapid first impression and your profile photo helps potential clients get a sense of who you are. Businesses want to work with people they trust, and if they don’t see a photo that conveys friendliness and professionalism, they may move on.
To help attract clients and stand out from the crowd, keep these tips in mind when selecting your perfect profile picture.
Shady areas outdoors—without direct sunlight or on a cloudy day—are a great lighting choice. Inside, avoid overhead light, which creates harsh shadows, and instead look for natural light.
Look for a plain and light background that is clear and uncluttered. A solid, not-too-bright wall—such as the side of a concrete or brick building—or a simple outdoor background might work well.
Face the camera straight on or with your shoulders at a slight angle. Crop the image so you only include your head and the top of your shoulders. Dress in professional attire and remember to smile! Clients find smiling freelancers more warm, friendly, and trustworthy.
Have someone take your photo for you, or set up a tripod and take the photo yourself, and select the highest resolution to help ensure a crisp photo. Consider taking multiple photos, in several locations and with different poses, so you’ll have a variety to choose from.
Pro Tip: Get a second opinion on your new profile photo by using photofeeler.com . It’s a free service to help you get feedback from others about how they perceive your profile picture.
Bad photo composition Poor light / too dark. Not looking at camera.
‍ Good photo composition Good lighting. Facing the camera.
Bad photo setting Too much body. Cluttered workspace.
‍ Good photo setting Framed into his face. Simple background.
Bad photo cropping Full upper body. Face is hard to see.
‍ Good photo cropping Cropped around face. Clean background.
Distracting background / too informal Attire is too casual. Eyes covered by sunglasses.
‍ Focus on face Professional attire. Smiling, looking into camera.

How this 18-year-old became the youngest junior partner at a global firm
If you want to have a successful career, maintaining an online presence on LinkedIn is crucial.
Not only is it an effective way to network with other professionals in your field, but it can get you noticed by others and potentially land you several job opportunities .
In fact, I landed a great job at a major company because I regularly updated my profile and published career-related content almost daily. (That job ultimately inspired me to start my own company.)
Believe it or not, that was six years ago — and today, LinkedIn has only become increasingly important.
Simply signing up for an account, quickly filling in the blanks and then letting your profile remain dormant won't do you any good.
Of the many elements that make up a strong profile, two of the most important ones are your professional headline and "About" section, explain career experts at Harvard University's Office for Alumni Affairs and Career Advancement .
Together, they make up what's known as your "LinkedIn profile summary," and it's one of the first things people see when they visit your page. Your professional headline is especially important because it's the text that gets displayed in search results for both Google and LinkedIn.
Below is an example of a strong LinkedIn profile summary, according to the career experts at Harvard:
PROFESSIONAL HEADLINE: Research Scientist | Ph.D. Candidate | Data Analytics, Biotech, Pharma
"ABOUT" SECTION: I'm a research scientist working to better understand how neural activity motivates and shapes human behavior. My expertise includes project design and management, data analysis and interpretation, and the development and implementation of research tools. I enjoy generating new ideas and devising feasible solutions to broadly relevant problems. My colleagues would describe me as a driven, resourceful individual who maintains a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity. Currently, I'm seeking opportunities that will allow me to develop and promote technologies that benefit human health. Specific fields of interest include data analytics, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.
Here's what makes it a strong profile summary:
While your profile summary holds major emphasis, you'll need to spend time on savvying up the rest of it.
Here's a quick checklist of the basics to help you get started:
Remember, the more active you are, the better. So as you move on to new jobs or master new skills, make it a point to update your profile.
Being active also means engaging with your community. You can do this by:
